    UPDATE 10/11/2009: Robert Llewellyn tweeted this morning that this is still not official yet…

    @bobbyllew Want to re-state that UKTV, aka Dave have commissioned Doug Naylor to write scripts, still a long way to go before it’s all official

    All of us Red Dwarf fans will be hoping to see a new series! And until it’s all official, we’ll have to just wait and see!

    The New Doctor

    Posted at 11:37 PM • No Comments

    Thanks to my friend @FancyFembot/@SciFiPartyLine for this info… The new logo for the new Doctor Who.

    Also, over at SciFi Wire, they have a post on which Doctor Who logo is cooler. I never got into the older series, but watched all of them with the logo used for Doctor #9 (Christopher Eccleston) & Doctor #10 (David Tennant). So I prefer that one.

    I’m not sure if I want to see a new Doctor (Matt Smith – #11). I really live David Tennant as The Doctor. I really, really do. I will miss him. I’ll enjoy the last few episodes with him.
